Remus
Synopsis
———
BLURB:
Cameron Jack is indulging in his usual evening ritual of sitting on the porch of his isolated mountain shack, just listening. There's usually nothing to hear, of course.
Except tonight, when he hears two men approach. Well, he smells them first - all government suits, superpowers and protocol. The Department. They better hurry up though, Cam hasn't got all night.
There's a full moon, after all...
Bo was raised in The Department's lab for her entire 16 years. She and her friends were groomed to be their weapons, but Bo was never very good at it. They were all sent to an intensive training camp to bring their performance up to scratch.
But arriving at the camp is pretty much the last thing Bo remembers. She wakes up in the middle the road and doesn't know what happened, but she knows in her heart something went badly wrong with the lessons. She’s afraid and ever-so-slightly outraged about it.
Maybe the scientists should have engineered her a better attitude...
With the camp going dark, The Department press-gang Cam into adopting his old moniker 'Remus' and helping them retrieve their missing experimental asset. Which isn't ideal, since The Department supes-in-suits are the reason his kind are nearly extinct in the first place.
But still...
Nothing hunts quite like a werewolf.
And nothing bites back quite like an angry teenage girl.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
A genocide survivor werewolf lead. Sharp teeth, but a sharper line in dry observation.
A lab-raised teenage weapon who’s trying to single-handedly make up for every other lab-raised teenage weapon’s empty-slate personality and PG-13 vocabulary.
Found family with a core sibling dynamic. Awww.
Colourful language. And f’ing how!
A shadowy agency monitoring the supernatural who walk the fine line between all-powerful CIA and local stationery supplies office.
Chaotic ensemble energy - is a battle without bickering really a battle? Not in the world of Remus.
Powers that break. Powers that leak. Powers that refuse to behave.
Outros! Cos the story has an episodic “TV” quality. They’re not mandatory, but they set the tone nicely. And some of them are proper bangers; so, you know, treat yourself.
Humour in crisis. Tears in heroism. Appropriate reactions at inappropriate times.
Real monsters.
Realer people.
